Utility notices from SMUD: real or spoof?
Summary — +18887427683
Expert Opinion
Turns out these calls are legitimate alerts from SMUD, the Sacramento utility, meant to inform customers about power outages or restoration times. Most listeners report the number consistently identifies as SMUD and the messages reference real service events, so treating them as spam could hide useful info. Still, verify the call by checking your account portal or the official SMUD website before sharing personal data. If the call asks for payment, credit‑card numbers, or promises a free solar kit, hang up—those are classic scams. Keep your phone’s block list for unknown robocalls, but allow verified utility notices.
